Have you ever thought about growing for a farmers market?

Well if so, the Center for Rural Culture is pleased to offer its Fourth Annual Growers Workshop on Saturday, Jan. 31, from 8:30 a.m. –  4 p.m. at the J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College Western Campus in Goochland County. The CRC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is offering this educational opportunity for both new and experienced growers who wish to grow produce and provide value added products for market.

Participants will gain valuable knowledge about the business of growing for market.

The fee for the workshop is $35 and includes a delicious boxed lunch provided by Whole Foods Market. Registration is limited to 60.
